UVA races on a farm. Its not a dedicated course. The farm owners could say f you to uva any day if they so chose (but they won't as they are nice people). VA Tech on the other hand has a dedicated course. So does App State. So does Lehigh.
App States is a combination of intramural fields and state park land. Not a dedicated cross country course.
Lehigh runs through their athletic fields, not a dedicated XC course, per se. As a big time D 1 coach with insider information, I know.
Whatta bout Priceton?
Link to a little information on Texas A&M's new XC course. Hosting first meets next fall. Have heard they are hosting the SEC conference meet next year, are in the process of bidding for the South Central Regional race, and have a serious chance of winning the bid for NCAA's in 2015.
More farmers should set up xc courses running through their corn mazes. They could make more money and better utilize their investment. (and the races would be a blast to watch from above)
Purdue has one!
Keep them coming!

Southern Illinois University - Edwardsville. They want to host XC in the coming years, apparently.
Colgate
I think Missouri State does as well, although they only have women's cross country.

Is there not such a thing as a dedicated course within a park that does not include athletic feilds?

I don't know much about Lehigh, but when it comes to athletic fields, using one of them to start a race is very fine if there isn't a wide enough start, but running races through multiple fields is the point that was being brought up in this thread.
Although not D1, the Canadian powerhouse Guelph has their own XC course without any form of an athletic field involved.
